Dylan Maychack Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Columbia was led to victory by Dylan Maychack, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Maychack rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
Maychack and Columbia will square off against Queensbury at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Blue Devils had to take a loss when they last met the Spartans, but Maychack had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 99 yards on only ten carries, and also threw for 107 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
